As
the resolution of difficult phylogenetic questions needs to deal
with large amounts of genes and species, the selection of sequences
becomes an unavoidable step in phylogenomic studies.
Furthermore, tree reconstructions are sensitive to various
phenomena like gene
composition, species sampling and missing data; in particular, the
existence of paralogous genes and the long branch attraction artefact
could create important mistakes in the
phylogeny. SCaFoS is a tool that allows the selection of sequences,
species and genes and the construction of various datasets taking into
account previously named constraints. SCaFoS attempts to address an
easy-to-use graphical interface as well a command line interface to
allow anyone a large use in various biological fields that deal with
multiple aligned sequences files of proteins or nucleic acids.
